Thumbnail Cropping Not Working

Using:
Wordpress 3.2
Ata 3.6.7

I would like to display only excerpts on all pages. I have set theme options to show only excerpts on all pages and I have changed the thumbnail size to 150x150 in Ata theme options and in Wordpress media settings. I have cropped all images (applied to only thumbnails) so that heads won't be cut off when the thumbnail shows up in the excerpt. However, after having done all this, the thumbnail images that I cropped, don't show up. There is a thumbnail, but it is the uncropped version. I have tried everything... I tried thumbnail editing with NextGEN gallery and it does the same thing. I also use Regenerate Thumbnails... did that and nothing changed. I changed to the Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven themes and thumbnails work fine (cropped thumbnail shows up). After reading Wordpress Codex, I noticed that the information below is not in the functions.php file. Do I need to add this for the "cropped" version of my thumbnail to work? Please help! I have been struggling with this for weeks and have read everything I can and have found no solution! I assumed it would be easy to crop an image, apply it to a thumbnail and have it show up in post excerpts.

From Wordpress:
Themes have to declare their support for post images before the interface for assigning these images will appear on the Edit Post and Edit Page screens. They do this by putting the following in their functions.php file:

I am building on MAMP... I have applied all bug fixes. Also, I just notices that nothing is working within the Post Thumbnail CSS (in Post Thumbnail options) and the Style IMAGES. I have changed borders and colors and nothing is working.

How are you generating the thumbnail. If you just put <img> in don't strip these tags the image will show. If you use the featured image function the setting for thumbnails in Atahualpa should work. I just tested.

I am using the Featured Image option within the post. The thumbnail will show up but not the thumbnail that I previously cropped in the media sub-panel. Also, as stated below, none of theme options for styling images or styling thumbnails are working. I previously applied the bug-fixes for 3.6.7. I have not changed anything in the theme files. I have checked for plug-in conflicts and still have not found a solution.

I am now able to style the theme options for images but not for thumbnails. Captions are now working. The only way I could get them to work was by switching back to the Twenty ELEVEN theme and changing the Default Post Format to STANDARD. I then switched back to ATA and styled the images and thumbnails through the ATA theme options. However, the styles that I applied to images are now being applied to the icons (print icon, e-mail icon and comment icon) in my post footer. Are there compatibility options with Wordpress 3.2?

Do any changes to the CSS in the Post Thumbnail CSS box take affect?

Changes in Post Thumbnail CSS do not take effect.

I am using 3.2 and can style the thumbnails fine in the theme options.
